Pokémon XY |OT4| Don't Bank On It
- Thread starter ColtraineGF
- Start date
where are you going to do with all the PPs ?
the bank won't make you hold an items
unless, you want to use it on your pokemon
Indeed, going to so check which pokemon I have that have moves that I won't delete and increase their PP, their isn't anything else use full I can use pokemiles on unless I'm going to play that balloon popping game 800 times in a row. Sucks the bank can't hold items, but I can understand it in some aspect.
Well, I'm officially out of the Gaf tourney. So I'm probably not going to do it right away, but I think I want to start thinking about my next team. My TR team still needs some refinements, but I want to build something fresh.
So: Sun, Rain, or Sandstorm? I don't have any experience with any of them, but I'd like to give one a try. I'm talking doubles, btw. Advice on how to deal with the potential glaring weaknesses that could arise from such things would also be nice.

Would someone be able to help me evolve my Seadra? :3
Here's a great rain team article from 2012, there's some new choices that aren't listed but it's a good start. You can use the general tips when thinking about any other weather as well. Just remember to plan for your chosen weather to fail miserably.

Thanks, 1 sec.
I have one you can have for free. FC is on my profile, IGN is Calum.

GG Crimson, sorry about the stally ending. I thought I had a chance if you got fully para'd at least once but the hax gods didn't answer my prayers. 
Focus Energy Kingdra didn't disappoint.

I guess send over one of your pokemon without the item and I'll send my Porygon2 over and you attach the Dubious Disc to it and then we trade back?

Yeah, I was kinda suprised Paralyze didn't stop me once over the 5+ turns.
Just one Paralyzed turn where I couldn't Roost through Earthquake and I'd lose.
After about two and a half hours of breeding, I finally got my hands on a perfect Yamask for my party (31/xx/31/31/31/31, +SpDef -Atk nature)! It took considerably longer than Tangela, but I'm still happy. I still wish I had the egg hatching o-power, though.
Now, it's time to decide on its EV spread and go grind them horde encounters. I guess I'll have to grind the Battle Maison a little bit so I can pick up a Power Lens (I only got the HP, Def and SpDef power items so far).
Also, it's amazing how much faster you can gain BP as opposed to previous generations. I asked for 10 BP rather than 100 pokémiles because I thought they'd be really hard to get like before, but I got enough to buy three power items by simply beating the regular singles ladder.
EDIT: Oh wow. Out of the five eggs I had remaining, one of them has 31/31/31/31/31/31! It's nice, but I'll probably end up running the one with lesser attack IVs to minimize stuff such as confusion damage, since I'll be running a special set.

Well, was hoping for best on GTS, but it's obvious it is just full of trolls trying to get what they want while trying to screw you out of what you're looking for. Or simply trolling for legendaries like somehow a Chansey = Legendary. Anyone have a Chansey FS or have a HA Chansey for trade?

Hey Muku, I think I have some HA Chansey in my bank box, i'll check for ya. Oh and tonight I hatched my 2nd shiny Gible, still female but she had the spread I wanted.

Awesome, thank you.
Oh, she's beautiful! Just a few short from my shiny charm... then I'll be back to breeding. Can't wait.
Edit: Whew just finished the Kalos Dexes.

I've been putting off my shiny charm for a while now but i'll get to it eventually. Ok yeah I do have some. Well, 2 actually but yeah.
Muku

Awesome. Is there anything you'd like for it?
Jeff Vader

Anything is fine since I don't think she knows any egg moves, just has the ability ^^;;

No problem. He's just one of my good breeding extras.

Welcome! Actually, can you do me a huge favor and trade evolve my Clamperl? Too lazy to grab my other 3DS.
Muku
Member
LOL sure
Edit: I'm usually that lazy too, that's why I keep my second 3DS always at my side. Been nice to be able to trade myself stuff and get it to evolve.
No problem.
Least I could do!OMG thank you Nintendo Playstation. I'm out of orbs for EXP opower right now. xD

Stupid question, i'm hoping to breed for HP fire on a Magnezone and I'm trying to remember the right iv spread. Is it even possible to get using my 6 iv ditto or would I have to use something else?
SenorArdilla
Member
It should be 31/xx/31/30/31/30. "xx" is an even-numbered IV. You'll probably need to be really lucky or get a super specific Ditto from somewhere.
Jeff Vader
Member
Do those specific Ditto's exist? o.o Otherwise i'll just have to ignore HP anything and use mons that don't need it.

Congraturashun! I'm right behind you.

Haha, thank you. How many more do you have to go?
Ah Muku, sorry I haven't done what I said I was going to do. Things came up that was more important than Pokemon. I'll PM you when things settle down.
Yes, HP Dittos exist. Use PokeCheck if you can.

Is Analytic Starmie only available through Pokebank? Ugh, I just got done breeding a perfect Staryu only to find that Analytic also activates when the opponent switches, which makes it much more attractive than I first thought.
Nintendo Playstation

AFAIK. I have an Analytic Staryu in a Dream Ball if you want one. Do genderless pass down ball type with Ditto?
With Impostor Ditto, I believe so.
Gender less Pokemon cannot pass down the ball

I checked my Black 2 and I actually have one too. Thanks anyway.

Does anyone have two Giratina in X/Y, one holding the Griseous Orb? Or is it like Black/White Kyurem where you can only have one at a time?
You can have both
Yes, i believe there's a 60% chance that the mothers HA will be passed down
